@lter$

The year is 2040, and the United States has been ravaged by a pandemic referred to as the Second Wave. Convicted of vehicular manslaughter, the unassuming Milo Greene is serving his life sentence as a prisoner in his own home. A few months into his sentence, Milo is given the opportunity to work as an Alter, an assistant to the rich and famous. Using augmented reality, Milo attends meetings, answers texts, writes emails--anything his Principal asks of him. He is her second, til death do us part. As the story unfolds, Milo realizes that he and his Principal have more in common than he'd originally thought. @lter$ is a thought-provoking, dystopian crime novel that is sure to keep you up at night.

Think Black Mirror meets Shawshank Redemption.
